It was piled on top of all the other mail which lay there, awaiting his return. Under it was Georgina's first letter to him and the one she had written to her mother about Dan Darcy and the rifle. And under that was the one which Barbara called the "rainbow letter," and then at least half a dozen from Barbara herself, with the beautiful colored photograph of the Towncrier and his lass.
Belle's hands were locked together in her lap, and her lips were pressed in a thin line as if she were trying to keep from saying something. Several times in the semi-darkness of the house her handkerchief went furtively to her eyes. Georgina's heart beat faster.
Later, Georgina went home pondering Melindy's answer. "Most every week when they love's 'em. Sometimes every other day." And Barby had had no letter for over four months. Something happened that afternoon which had never happened before in all Georgina's experience. She was taken to the Gray Inn to call. Mrs. Triplett, dressed in her new black summer silk, took her.
She folded it gently back from the flushed face, not intending to waken her, but Georgina's eyes opened and after a bewildered stare around the room she sat up, remembering. She had wakened to a world of trouble. Somehow it did not seem quite so bad with Barbara standing over her, smiling.
If only you could have gone that way." Barbara, hearing a muffled sob behind her, turned to see the tears running down Georgina's face. The next instant she was up, and with her arms around the child, was gently pushing her ahead of her out of the room, into the hall. With the door shut behind her she said soothingly: "Barby didn't know they were going to tell such unhappy stories, darling.
Mainwaring?" inquired a small girl with a white bow over one ear, secretly impressed by Georgina's obvious familiarity with the inspiring figure in the stern sheets of the picket-boat. "Dear Mr. Mainwaring!" repeated Georgina under her breath, gazing rapturously at her idol. White Bow repeated her query. "He's he's Mr. Mainwaring," replied Georgina. "My Mr. Mainwaring."
Milford, not as if he expected anyone to remember, but that he happened to think of it. A slowly dawning recollection began to brighten in Georgina's eyes. "But it did have a smell," she exclaimed. "I remember it perfectly well now.
Buntingford could not truthfully say that he had seen any signs on Georgina's part, so far, of more than a decent neutrality in the matter. Georgina was a precisian; devoted to order, and in love with rules. The presence of the invalid boy, his nurse, and his teacher, must upset every rule and custom of the little house. Could she really put up with it?
The question suddenly dissipated the girl's strange, studied, wilful coldness; she broke out, with a quick flash of passion, a passion that, for the moment, was predominantly anger, "Why else, in Heaven's name, should I have done what I have done? Why else should I have married him? What under the sun had I to gain?" A certain quiver in Georgina's voice, a light in her eye which seemed to Mrs.
"And when I said something about it's all coming out all right some day, and that Danny would weather the storms and come into port with all flags flying " Here Georgina lowered her voice and went on slowly as if she hesitated to speak of what happened next "he just put his old hat over his face and cried. And I felt so sorry " Georgina's voice choked.
